Of course it must hit them as well as other industries. Even online betting companies could have some serious issues since there are only few sports events. On the other hand, I'm convinced that these times are going to bring more customers to online casinos, but you need to keep in mind that once the financial crisis will hit the World (and I'm sure it will come), some people will probably gamble less.
They started to offer ESPORT events.
Electronic league FIFA - has like 13 matches today, as i saw, +
some Nicaragua ,friendly games.. basically there is always something to bet on,don't worry.
Also they mainly focusing on casinos r now, as they offer 10% on deposit on all cards, + some free spins and stuff..
While those with a focus on sports will be affected; i think online casinos too.
As you say, and I agree with that, the economy in general is affected and I do not believe that the same amounts are wagered.
As you said before, the amounts of wagers will be lowered a lot, and that's what it has been happening after every recession. I think is just about time (and not to much time) for things to drastically change in order to survive as we're looking tournaments merging into e-sports like NBA and La Liga, it's going to happen with the rest of activities.
The gambling industry will be affected, yes. But not that hard
The important thing to consider too are the government regulations. It's already difficult gambling here and I'm sure there will be more restrictions with this situation, like is happening in Spain. Governments are trying to maintain people's well being by giving subsidies and for those it's counterproductive allow people to loss money on gambling
Of course it affects them, it’s like you had a job yesterday and you got fired today. The answer is very clear. The important question is what you say, will this eventually cause them to close? everything depends on people because there are many offers online and demand is high.
Of course, bookmakers and, in general, the entire economic world suffer a lot. It is inevitable due to this pandemic. But I am sure that the great ones have found a way to survive although the little ones may have already disappeared.
I personally miss the sporting events and Olympic Games that are postponed the most. Looking forward to seeing my favorite players soon.
Betting operators are not as powerful as many people believe. They also have their bad experience and its consequences after the pandemic.
I personally don't like Esports because I am not familiar with the players and it seems impossible to know who will win.
Absolutely according to Marcial: Esport is the perfect solution for many online casinos, but the downside is that they are not as popular as normal sports games. Many of my friends refuse to play FIFA, for example, and bet on players who don't know what will be a reason to lose money.
I feel like it's quite dangerous to bet on esports. Many tournaments and matches don't really have too good prize money so it's worth for the players to for example lose on purpose and bet on the opponent. It's difficult to reveal this since anyone can have a bad day and play badly on the computer or gaming console.
Undoubtedly, it is necessary to have a strategy if we want to take this type of betting beyond the simple hobby. In a hobby we can take more risks, maybe. I agree that it is important, above all, to define what our limit is and how much money we are willing to invest, and with that in mind also choose a betting site. For example, personally, my favorite online betting site has always been this one. But I have to disagree in this analysis between betting against or in favor of the favorites. I think it's too simplistic. To make money, the trick is to find out which odds are misjudged, regardless of whether it's for or against.
